...after missing the cut at the European Masters in Switzerland. "It's supposed to be fun." Did he just use the F word? The Ryder Cup runneth over with all kinds of emotion: nauseating anticipation at the first tee; knee-knocking nervousness before a key putt; champagne-soaked joy - for one side - at the end.
